Set-WebDAV Cmdlet

Parameters Output Objects Configuration Settings

The Set-WebDAV cmdlet implements an easy-to-use interface to the Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning protocol (WebDAV).

Syntax

Set-WebDAV [parameters]

Remarks

The cmdlet allows setting properties on a WebDAV resource as well as creating new directories.

Depth is used to determine how the properties are retrieved. A depth of "0" will return only the properties associated with ResourceURI. A depth of "1" will return those properties, plus those of the member URIs. A depth of "infinity" (default) will return all properties of all the resources in the hierarchy.

The cmdlets support pipeline input for some of their parameters. Prebuilding an object and piping it to the cmdlet is very useful, but should be used with caution to prevent security conflicts. Steps have been taken to decrease the risk of a possibly accidental pipe to the cmdlet, for instance, the Credential parameter cannot be piped to the cmdlet and must be specified manually.

# setting a property
set-webdav -uri http://localhost/temp -cred $credentials -propertyname 'prop' -propertyvalue 'value'
# deleting a property
set-webdav -uri http://localhost/temp -cred $credentials -propertyname 'prop' -operation delete
# creating a directory
set-webdav -uri http://localhost/temp -cred $credentials -makedirectory 'test'
